"The realms of non-interference between noumenon and phenomena and non-interference among phenomena are represented symbolically in the Avatamsaka Sutra by such images as the Buddha's pores each containing innumerable lands， with each atom in those lands also containing innumerable lands， each land containing innumerable Buddhas， and so on， ad infinitum. This illustrates the infinite mutual relation of all things." （Thomas Cleary， tr.）
